Large scale geometry of commutator subgroups

Abstract

Let G be a finitely presented group, and G′ its commutator subgroup. Let C be the Cayley graph of G′ with all commutators in G as generators. Then C is large scale simply connected. Furthermore, if G is a torsion-free nonelementary word-hyperbolic group, C is one-ended. Hence (in this case), the asymptotic dimension of C is at least 2.
